Discover how to find and scan various Fragments in Warframe to unlock hidden lore, artwork, and audio transmissions that flesh out the game's universe.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Mechanics: Most Fragments can be scanned using the Codex Scanner or Synthesis Scanner. This unlocks artwork in the Codex's Universe tab and accompanying lore. A hidden point on each image, indicated by white noise, reveals an audio transmission with further lore. Some Fragments require direct interaction (default key 'X') instead of scanning.
  2. 2
    Cephalon Fragments: These appear as hovering blue data blocks, typically found in rooms during missions. They can be scanned with a Codex or Synthesis Scanner. Each planet, moon, or location (except Kuva Fortress) has 2-3 fragments, requiring 3-7 scans each. They are visualized as a blue quadruple diamond on the minimap if loot radar mods are active. Cephalon Fragments do not spawn in Defense, Interception, or Archwing missions. They reveal lore about Factions, Characters, and Planets, and decrypting them unveils Ordis' Past, narrated by Ordis.
Tips
  • Use loot radar mods to easily spot Cephalon Fragments on your minimap.
  • Listen for white noise to locate the hidden audio clue on scanned Fragment artwork.
  • Be aware that Defense, Interception, and Archwing missions do not contain Cephalon Fragments.
